The dangers associated with microfibers

New research into the health of our waterways suggests the fibers in our clothing could be making their way into our water and various food chains.

As our items are washed tiny microfibers are shed and these end up in our waterways. Studies have found an abundance of fibres and fabric on shorelines.

Research indicates that many small fish consume these microfibers and they are eventually eaten by larger fish. Ultimately, the fish that we consume may also contain microfibers and this is a serious concern.
